We give a brief review of several prominent fluid instabilities representing transitions driven
by gravity, surface tension, thermal energy, and applied motion/acceleration. Strategies for …

In the present work, interferometric unsteady state analysis of the thermogravitational
technique is for the first time attempted in a microcolumn. In this way, three transport …

Thermodiffusion, which leads to a component separation in a mixture due to the thermal
gradient, still does not have an unambiguous microscopic picture. Therefore, experimental …

The Soret coefficients of a set of ternary systems of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalene (THN),
isobutylbenzene (IBB), and n-dodecane (nC 12) at 298.15 K were measured under …

The influence of different body forces on the frequencies of the oscillatory regime in liquid
bridges of molten silicone is studied. To do so, three different gravity levels are applied: the …

The improvement of heat management based on Phase Change Materials (PCMs) is of
increasing importance in space environments. In this context, a future ESA project called …

This work presents the preliminary characterization of the vibrational environment of the
DCMIX4 thermodiffusion experiment conducted onboard the ISS from December 2018 to …

In the present work, an interferometric unsteady analysis of the thermogravitational
technique was for the first time attempted in a paralelepipedic microcolumn using binary …

The Soret coefficients of n-hexane/n-dodecane mixtures were calculated by the enhanced
heat exchange (eHEX) algorithm with the TraPPE-UA force field. The time that the system …

The accelerometric environment of IVIDIL and DCMIX experiments were successively
monitored not only to identify the main disturbances that could affect the experiments but as …
